Pls explain how this could have happened 20 years ago? The only gesture for peace was Oslo Accord which Israel interpreted it as installing a stooge in Gaza and West Bank and then expand its settlements in West Bank by having a compliant authority. What part of Oslo accord did Israel comprimise on that promoted a 2 state solution. Or was 2 state solution interpretation 'you stay in West Bank and Gaza and we expand'. Hamas take over from PA is a direct result of Israel corrupting PA to where PA lost its governing legitimacy
I think you got it wrong.
The chance for peace died not just cause of Hamas , the final straw was when It was discovered that Arafat too returned to the Armed strugle.
Are we are responsible for, as you say " Corupting the PLO " , Come on , we are responsinle that some Plestinans are currupt ? That is simply evading responsibility .
Settling beyond the 1967 borfers was indeed a historical mistake , those territories should have been kept as a bargaining chip for peace. You may be surprise to you, but we have idiots in our country too.
Now we see rounds of conflicts with each round getting more violent. But nothing changes.
The same attitude can be seen in this discussion.
How many here , stay sleepness at night to come up with ideas how to solve this conflict that is effecting the whole world ?
Seems many here think that demonising the other side . throwing blame , spreading racial and religous hate , would make things better.
When someone shots an arrow at you , the first thing you do , is not start an investigation on who shot that arrow. First thing you do , is to pull that dam arrow from your chest.
And this is what this comflict is , An arrow in the heart of the world.
